Answer:

HI.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√molar mass.

  • <em>(Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).</em>
  • An unknown gas effuses at one half the speed of that of oxygen.

∵ Rate of effusion of unknown gas = 1/2 (Rate of effusion of O₂)

∴ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = 2.

Molar mass of O₂ = 32.0 g/mol.

∵ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).

∴  2.0 = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / √32.0.

( √molar mass of unknown gas) = 2.0 x √32.0

By squaring the both sides:

∴ molar mass of unknown gas = (2.0 x √32.0)² = 128 g/mol.

∴ The molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 80.91 g/mol and the molar mass of HI = 127.911 g/mol.

<em>So, the unknown gas is HI.</em>

Describe the motion of a ball being thrown straight up in the air in terms of kinetic and potential energy. as the ball rises up
denis23 [38]
In your hand, the ball has higher potential energy than kinetic because it is still off of the ground but it isn't moving so there is no kinetic. As the ball rises, its potential and kinetic energy increases. At its peak, it has very high potential energy and very low kinetic energy. As it falls, the potential energy decreases but kinetic does not.

Can some please answer these two questions?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

1. Mass of potassium (K) = 203.32 g

2. Number of mole of As = 7.53 moles

Explanation:

1. Determination of the mass of potassium (K)

Molar mass of K = 39.1 g/mol

Number of mole of K = 5.2 moles

Mass of K =.?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

5.2 = mass of K / 39.1

Cross multiply

Mass of K = 5.2 × 39.1

Mass of potassium (K) = 203.32 g

2. Determination of the number of mole of Arsenic (As)

Molar mass of As = 74.92 g/mol

Mass of As = 563.9 g

Number of mole of As =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Number of mole of As = 563.9 / 74.92

Number of mole of As = 7.53 moles

Would Lithium and Fluoride still be neutral?<br>explain in 2-3 sentences
Fed [463]

Answer:

LiF (lithium fluoride)

Explanation:

Lithium ions have a charge of +1 and fluoride ions have a charge of -1. The formula unit for lithium fluoride is LiF, which means that the lithium and fluoride ions are present in a 1:1 ratio. So the positive and negative charges cancel each other, and the compound lithium fluoride is neutral.
